Modern #fashion has long been synonymous with parades of long, lean #models teetering down a runway sporting a range of often-exposed designs aimed to flash the most skin possible.
but a backlash is starting to build, focused around a so-called "modest fashion" movement that is tipped by thompson reuters to become a $450 billion industry by 2019.
a fashion event in western australia has opted to capitalise on the interest, showcasing a range of stylish and fully-covered outfits focused on more modest designs.
one of the event organisers, imam faizel chothia, said perth was ideally located to tap into the booming modest fashion market. sureyya demir, one of the designers involved in the event, said despite common perceptions, modest fashion was not limited to people of #islamic faith — with the trend being adopted across a range of religions. #modestfashion 📸 supplied: medi esmail

The damage wrought by tropical cyclone marcus is a "real wake-up call" for darwin residents lulled into a false sense of security when it comes to cyclone safety, emergency services say.
the category two storm passed over the city just before midday on saturday, and was downgraded to a category one system about 4:00pm cst.
darwin saw persistent gale-strength winds of over 62 kilometres per hour for six hours, and recorded a maximum wind gust of 130 kilometres per hour while marcus was passing overhead.
nt police regional controller warren jackson said the amount of damage visible across the city from the category two system was a warning of what stronger cyclones could do.
